Abstract

This study investigates the integration of digital health competencies within a community-engaged medical education (CEME) framework. This review explores and develops effective strategies for incorporating digital health competencies into medical curricula. By focusing on community engagement, the study seeks to align medical education with real-world health challenges, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and its practical application. The methodology involves a scoping review using databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, focusing on the last 5 years of research on digital health competencies in medical education. A structured data charting process used an abstraction form to extract relevant information from eligible studies. Key findings from the study emphasize the necessity for a curriculum that enhances students' understanding and practical application of digital health tools. Students require training that blends theoretical knowledge with practical applications, ensuring adaptability to the latest digital technologies and methodologies. Continuous professional development is necessary for faculty to remain adept at teaching these advanced concepts. Furthermore, curriculum management must ensure that digital health education is dynamic with continuous curriculum updates. The educational context should be supportive and dynamic, encouraging student-centered learning. Lastly, community engagement fosters culturally sensitive and inclusive educational practices. These collaborations enhance learning and ensure that digital health solutions are effectively implemented in community settings, particularly benefiting underserved populations. Integrating digital health competencies into CEME represents mitigating healthcare disparities and equipping future healthcare professionals with the necessary tools to deliver competent, culturally aware, and technologically proficient care.

在社区参与的医学教育中整合数字健康能力:制定数字健康教学策略的范围审查。
本研究调查了社区参与医学教育(cme)框架内数字健康能力的整合。本综述探讨并制定了将数字健康能力纳入医学课程的有效策略。通过关注社区参与,该研究寻求将医学教育与现实世界的健康挑战结合起来,弥合理论知识与其实际应用之间的差距。该方法包括使用PubMed/MEDLINE、b谷歌Scholar和Science Direct等数据库进行范围审查,重点关注过去5年医学教育中数字健康能力的研究。结构化数据图表过程使用抽象表格从符合条件的研究中提取相关信息。该研究的主要发现强调了提高学生对数字健康工具的理解和实际应用的课程的必要性。学生需要将理论知识与实际应用相结合的培训,以确保对最新数字技术和方法的适应性。持续的专业发展是教师保持熟练教授这些先进概念的必要条件。此外,课程管理必须确保数字健康教育是动态的,课程不断更新。教育环境应该是支持和动态的,鼓励以学生为中心的学习。最后,社区参与促进具有文化敏感性和包容性的教育实践。这些合作促进了学习,并确保在社区环境中有效实施数字卫生解决方案,特别是使服务不足的人群受益。将数字健康能力整合到cme中可以缓解医疗保健差距,并为未来的医疗保健专业人员提供必要的工具,以提供有能力、有文化意识和技术熟练的护理。
